Original sin is the doctrine which holds that human nature has been morally and ethically corrupted due to the disobedience of mankind's first parents to the revealed will of [[God]]. In the [[Bible]], the first human transgression of God's command is described as the sin of [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] in the Garden of [[Eden]] resulting in what theology calls the Fall of mankind. The doctrine of original sin holds that every person born into the world is tainted by the [[Fall]] such that all of humanity is ethically debilitated, and people are powerless to rehabilitate themselves, unless rescued by God.
